Query: are quarterbacks appraised for “having the backs” of their receivers? Often I get pissed off when i see a qb (Brady included) pass to a guy who is in no position to gain yards, and in the perfect position to be hammered--and thus to fumble. It seems like the better alternative is to fire the ball at the receiver’s toes.
I’m curious though whether or not receivers ever talk about what quarterbacks are safer for them to work with. Does the media ever refer to this? Or am I all wrong in the sense that all receivers love to be targeted under any conditions.
The passes I hate most are those 2-3 yards deep outside the numbers--give me a break. Only the most houdini type moves can turn these passes into substantial yardage. So you get circus catches and a 25 yard pass which results in a 2 yard gain.
And then the passes on broken plays--to any bloke who happens to be momentarily free somewhere just past the line of scrimmage. Concussion time.
